Self-Discipline—Making God’s Way Your Way
If your parents or older Christians base discipline on what the Bible says, its ideas and values can enter deeply into your life. When this happens, discipline becomes more than a list of rules to follow. It becomes a matter of the heart. When biblical values shape your thoughts and desires, it will show in your behavior. Read the Bible story about Daniel and his friends. Think about the choices they made to practice self-discipline. Think about these questions as you read Daniel 1:1–21:
- What choices did Daniel face? (Daniel 1:8)
- How did Daniel solve his problem? (Daniel 1:12–13)
- What were the benefits of his self-discipline? (Daniel 1:18–20)
Make It Personal
- What are the areas of your life in which you should be more self-disciplined?
- What is your plan for doing that?
- Do you have friends who will help you?
- What benefits could you gain from being more self-disciplined?
